2022 NBA Draft: #37 Jaden Hardy (6' 3", 6' 9" WS) to DAL | two 2nds to SAC

[Chicagojk]

If one of the top of their board isn't there at #26 I support trading back into the 30s to try to get one of your other guys. 

For me that would be if Eason, Liddell, LaRavia, Dalen Terry, and Jalen Williams are all gone then I would be fine flipping #26 into an early 2nd rounder as there will be guys there that I still like.

I understand the thinking but I am typically against trading back in the NBA draft.  I am in favor of it in the NFL draft.

At pick 26, you really don't have great odds of finding a really good player, so do the work and make your best pick.  even if that player may be rated 10 spots higher in the consensus sites.  Moving back and picking up another second to increase your chances typically doesn't work out.
